Conclusion

Through the first 35 games of the season, the Canes are putting together a possibly playoff push. This team has won five of its last six games, and hopefully that trend will continue after the Christmas Break.

Carolina returns on Nov. 27, to face the Montreal Canadiens at PNC Arena. Carey Price will be a good test of where the offense is at coming back from the break. Yet, the Canes need to win games like this one against the Canadiens to take a good stake in the Metro.

The opportunity is there for the Canes to make a good run when the calendar year turns. There is one more big Metro opponent on tap before 2018 begins. On Dec. 29, the Canes face the Pittsburgh Penguins in the team’s third consecutive home game.
